"The hot dog combo remains affordable all these years later because it's a loss leader designed to draw in customers. However, the new option of bottled water has caused some online buzz, as it may seem appealing for those who don't want soda."
"While some shoppers were happy with the news, several comments on Reddit point out that you could just get water from the fountain instead. The portability of a plastic bottle with a lid that can be sealed has an advantage over a fountain drink."
Costco's iconic hot dog combo, priced at $1.50 since 1985, has introduced bottled water as a drink option. This change has sparked mixed reactions among customers. While some appreciate the water option, others argue it lacks value compared to the original soda, which includes free refills. Critics point out that water can be obtained for free from the fountain, and the bottled water's portability is its only advantage. Overall, the change has led to discussions about value and convenience.
